I’m 7.5ish months post-op and previously competed in weightlifting (snatch and clean/jerk) before my rupture. This is not where I used to be, but strength does come back fast!

Just wanted to give some encouragement to those out there who feel like the world is ending when you look at your atrophy (I know I did!). Be patient, trust your PTs, and try to enjoy your recovery! I know that sounds weird, but it can actually be fun to feel like you’re setting a new “PR” every day
